Session S01 E07

The Needle

Location: The Relentless
Planet: None - Space

---TIME TO PLAY

Kieran arrived on the bridge - flashing warning lights sprinkled across the consoles.  Mae looked at him with alarm.

"I don't know what happened.  One minute she was just fine, a few seconds later and the ship started bouncing and then shook itself out of the drifts."

"Alright, let's do a system check.  This ship is pretty new.  We don't have that much time on the eidolon drive."

GATHER INFORMATION
Miss
Pay the Price "You are delayed or put at a disadvantage"
Oracle Roll "was the ship sabotaged by someone?"  YES

Kieran and Mae pour over their consoles to troubleshoot the issue.  They discover that the power feeds have disconnected from the power plant to the eidolon drives and engines.

Laris wakes up as Kieran is preparing to go outside.  There's no way to fix the issue from inside the ship.  Kieran is a bit tight-lipped with her.

Kieran goes out into space, and freehand climbs along the hull to the access panel.  After a close inspection of the power connections, Kieran ascertains that the ship was sabotaged from the outside - clearing Laris from being directly responsible.  But that doesn't mean she wasn't somehow involved.

EXPLORE A WAYPOINT

The Relentless, now outside of the asteroid field, find the source of the debris.  They come upon a planet, a dwarf planet, cracked in half, core exposed to space.  As they approach their sensors light up - a strange signal leads them to a giant tower protruding from the surface of the planet - a Precursor Vault.

They land the Relentless and prepare to explore the Vault, knowing nothing about what's inside of the vault.
